linear-browser-automation

What This Skill Does

The linear-browser-automation skill empowers OpenClaw to interact directly with the Linear.app interface. By leveraging a managed 'openclaw' browser profile, this skill automates complex workflows such as creating new issues, modifying existing tickets, updating statuses, and adding comments without requiring the user to switch context between their IDE and their project management tool. It ensures data integrity by requiring confirmation before submission and uses visual snapshotting to verify state transitions in real-time.

Installation

To integrate this capability into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hassam-powerhouse/linear-browser-automation

Ensure that you have the OpenClaw agent configured with browser control permissions, as this skill relies on the 'openclaw' profile to maintain authenticated sessions for your Linear workspace.

Use Cases

This skill is designed for engineering teams and product managers who spend significant time in Linear. Common scenarios include:

• Rapid Triage: Quickly moving items from an 'Inbox' or 'Todo' state to 'In Progress' during standups.
• Issue Tracking: Programmatically creating issues from technical findings or feature requests discovered during coding sessions.
• Bulk Updates: Automating status changes or commenting on multiple issues based on the result of an automated test suite or CI/CD outcome.
• Verification: Using visual snapshots to confirm that UI elements or issue states have updated correctly after a sequence of commands.

Example Prompts

1. "Create a new bug report in the Backend team. Title: API rate limiting error on /v1/auth. Please set priority to High."
2. "Update issue ENG-402 in the Frontend team. Move the status to 'Done' and add a comment: Fixed the overflow issue on the dashboard chart."
3. "Check if there are any new issues in the Triage queue and let me know the titles before we move them to the current sprint."

Tips & Limitations

• Authentication: Always ensure you have an active session in the 'openclaw' browser profile. If the skill redirects you to the login page, complete the login manually; the agent will pick up from there.
• Data Integrity: The 'Required-input policy' is a safety feature. For creating issues, always provide the team and title; for edits, always include the team and specific issue identifier (e.g., 'POW-123').
• Verification: The agent uses visual snapshots for verification. If a page load is slow, the agent will wait; however, ensure your network connection is stable for the best experience.
• Restrictions: This skill only supports the documented issue statuses. Requests to move an issue to a non-standard or custom workflow state may fail.
